  • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues modification documents for Central Everglades Planning Project South Phase

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 12, 2025) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, (Corps) is preparing an integrated Limited Reevaluation Report (LRR) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document to support modifications being considered for the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) South Phase. The proposed modifications are located within Water Conservation Area 3B (WCA 3B) immediately downstream of the S-631, S-152, S-632, and S-633 structures in the L-67A levee and along the L-67C canal and are necessary to enhance project function as described in the 2014 CEPP Final Project Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/EIS) and Chief’s Report.
  • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues proposed design refinements for Central Everglades Planning Project North Phase

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 2, 2025) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) issues the Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Supplemental Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Proposed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for construction of proposed design refinements for the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) North Phase. The specific features of the CEPP Recommended Plan to be implemented in the CEPP North Phase focus on hydropattern restoration in northern Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A and the backfilling of the Miami Canal that were identified in the 2014 CEPP Final Project Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/EIS). Construction of the CEPP North Phase will prepare the Everglades system for additional treated water inflows from Lake Okeechobee by providing the conveyance improvements and landscape connectivity necessary to redistribute additional flows to northern WCA 3A. Preliminary hydraulic modeling has found that modifications to CEPP North features are necessary in order to meet the project objectives identified in the 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS, including effective and uniformly distributed flow into WCA 3A. The CEPP North SEA and Proposed FONSI address construction of proposed design refinements to the L-4 Levee degrade, a feature of the Recommended Plan in the 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS and Chief's Report.
  • USACE hosts progress update meeting on the Central Everglades Planning Project, Everglades Agricultural Area, A2 Stormwater Treatment Area Operational Plan on July 31, 2024

  • USACE Jacksonville District issues scoping letter for the Central Everglades Planning Project North Phase

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, is preparing a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) assessment to support design refinements being considered in the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) North Phase Validation Study. The purpose of the CEPP North Phase Validation Study is to confirm project components, construction sequencing, and project dependencies as described in the 2014 CEPP Final Project Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/EIS) and Chief's Report. In addition, the Validation Study will also validate that the proposed design refinements are necessary for the CEPP North project components to function as originally intended and determine if the refinements require additional NEPA. The 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS is available at https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/utils/getfile/collection/p16021coll7/id/16154.
